Where is the best place in the US for a DJ to live?

This may seem like a bizarre question to throw out there, but I'm wondering. I currently live in a small ski town in Colorado. I moved back out here after living in Philly to pursue an emergency medicine career. I have a couple different "residencies" out here (DJing at bars and a coffee shop) which keeps me in practice but honestly doesn't make me push the envelope much. So I've been trying to figure out how long I'm going to stay here.

The details of the situation really don't matter, but the upshot is that I may be quitting my job at the end of June and leaving the valley sometime soon after that, by the time my lease runs out in August. My options are pretty open as far as where I go. I'm pretty sure I want to be in or near a major city for travel and the city life in general, but I'd also like quick access to the outdoors/snow/forests/that sort of thing. So I'm curious about what people enjoy in their city and scene, and what they think the creative purposes (for DJing, music, art, whatever) are there. I'd just really appreciate everyone's input.
